The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into The UPS Store and asked the employee, ‘Do you know why they call it “ups”?’ The staff member replied, puzzled, ‘No, sir.’ Ever since then, customers started noticing that whenever someone asks that question, something strange happens… Finally, one day a delivery driver approached the counter with a big smile. He said, ‘It’s because when packages arrive here, everything goes up!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, every time anyone asked the question, everyone in the store would join in on the joke.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one afternoon, frowning as he tried to open the back door of his truck. Suddenly, the door sprang open with a loud bang, startling him so much that he dropped a package containing a giant inflatable unicorn. The delivery driver looked around, embarrassed but relieved no one had seen. A regular customer walking by happened to glance over and laughed out loud. ‘Hey, don’t worry!’ she said, pointing to the unicorn. ‘We’ve seen stranger things in here.’ The store filled with laughter as the unicorn bobbed gently on the floor, its plastic horn catching the light.

3. A customer stormed into The UPS Store one day, shouting, ‘I can’t believe it’s not here!’ The clerk calmly replied, ‘Ma’am, what exactly are you talking about?’ ‘My package!’ she insisted. The clerk smiled and said, ‘Sir, your package is right where our tracking says it should be.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Actually, I just dropped off that exact same box five minutes ago.’ Turns out, he’d delivered it twice without anyone noticing. Moral of the story? Sometimes things arrive when you least expect them—or even before you do!’

4. In the early hours of a Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a heavy sigh. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd on the parking lot—an old wooden crate, its label long faded. He opened it curiously and found inside an ancient letter addressed to ‘Mr. Postman, care of The UPS Store.’ It turned out to be from someone’s great-grandmother, who had moved away decades ago. A regular walked in, laughed, and said, ‘Guess you’re our new Mr. Postman today!’
